Back to Cheow Lan

The last two weeks I have spent most of the time in the rivers and streams flowing into the Cheow Lan reservoir in Surathani Province in Southern Thailand. Had some great fishing with many good anglers, and seen some amazing wildlife. One of the most bizarre things that ever happened to me during a fly fishing trip was when a small mouse deer came swimming down streams when my friend casted on a nice Mahseer, it passed us and went down a water fall, we did not see it after that, but the Park ranger said it survived. Here comes some mixed pictures from the last weeks.

Mahseer season has started in the south.

Fished last week in the Cheow Lan streams and the action was mostly non stop on big dry flies, best day I released 40 Mahseer. The El Niño this year results in clear rivers and streams, and easy wading.

End of the Year Mahseer

My German Lawyer friend fished with me in Cheow Lan during the last days of 2014, last year he came during the same period and caught a very nice Stracheyi Mahseer on a dry fly. This year he hooked an even bigger fish the first day, but luck was not on his side, the fished cut the leader under some roots during the first fast run.

Second day we fished a smaller stream and he caught the fish
below on a red egg pattern, a pattern from Alaska tied on a strong hook. Not as big as the fish he
lost the first day but still a beautiful Mahseer

The Elephant population in the area seems to getting bigger
every year, you don't see a bathing Elephants everyday but this was a really
happy Elephant and not afraid at all for us when we came in the boat on our way
to one of the streams.

Soro Mahseer

Took my family to a waterfall in eastern Thailand for a swim last weekend and what a place it was! If there is a Heaven for a Mahseer angler this must be it. Place was full of Soro Mahseer (Tor Tambra), biggest fish I saw was around 8kg size.
